Class I PI 3-kinases
Encyclopedia
Class I PI 3-kinases are a subgroup of the enzyme family, phosphoinositide 3-kinase
that possess a common protein domain structure, substrate specificity, and method of activation. Class I PI 3-kinases are further divided into two subclasses, class IA PI 3-kinases and class IB PI 3-kinases.
There are three catalytic subunits that are classified as class IA PI 3-kinases:
There are currently five regulatory subunits that are known to associate with class IA PI 3-kinases catalytic subunits:
The only known class IB PI 3-kinase catalytic subunit is p110γ.
There are two known regulatory subunits for p110γ:
Phosphoinositide 3-kinase
Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases are a family of enzymes involved in cellular functions such as cell growth, proliferation, differentiation, motility, survival and intracellular trafficking, which in turn are involved in cancer. In response to lipopolysaccharide, PI3K phosphorylates p65, inducing...

Class IA PI 3-kinases
Class IA PI 3-kinases are activated by receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs).There are three catalytic subunits that are classified as class IA PI 3-kinases:
- p110α
- p110β
- p110δP110δPhosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit delta isoform also known as phosphoinositide 3-kinase or p110δ is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PIK3CD gene....

Class IB PI 3-kinases
Class IB PI 3-kinases are activated by G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs).The only known class IB PI 3-kinase catalytic subunit is p110γ.
